Tensions Escalate Between Israel and Hezbollah
Recent airstrikes between Israel and Hezbollah mark a significant escalation in conflict, driven by Hezbollah's planned rocket attack on northern Israel in retaliation for the assassination of its commander. Israel preemptively struck thousands of Hezbollah launchers, claiming to have prevented a large portion of their rockets from being fired.
